George Buchanan Smith 1865-186?

The bible is the only evidence we have for the birth of George. He was born and died between census records. I have not been able to secure either the birth or death record for George yet. He was born in England as was John Kidd Smith.

A search for other children in Scotland produced no positive results.

This period is very important. His father was listed as an umbrella maker on the birth certificate of his brother in New Castle.

I have been unable to find the Smith family on a New Castle census record. We do not know why Alexander left Scotland to return later.
